it believes in preemptive military surgical attacks which worked in syria, it worked in iraq and hopefully it won't have to work in iran, because the iranians will have the good sense to realize that when president obama looked me in the eye and said alan, i don't bluff, and i'm telling you that iran will not be able to develop nuclear weapons. the iranians better believe that. if they don't, they're acting at their risk because i do believe that the united states will prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons. that's a promise that has been made by president obama to the american people and to the world. >> dan senor, mitt romney along with barack obama spoke to benjamin netanyahu today. do you know how the conversation went with mitt romney? >> well, it was -- obviously it was a one-on-one conversation. i know a little about it. they talked about what prime minister netanyahu meant about red lines, what his views were on the current state of play with iran. governor romney also sought out the prime minister's views on developments in the arab world. there is this sense of an unravelin
